Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooling device comprising a shelf the height of which can be adjusted.
  • the foodstuffs and various containers are placed on the shelves.
  • the distance between the two shelves can be required to be changed, in other words the height of the shelf in the body can be required to be adjusted.
  • a rack gear is provided on both sides of the refrigerator body extending from the top to bottom along the line the shelf is moved and a pinion gear is provided at each side of the shelf that provides movement on this rack gear.
  • a worm gear each is disposed under both of the pinion gears that transmit movement to the pinion gears.
  • the worm gears are connected to each other by means of a rod and can be controlled by the user by means of a control arm disposed at the center of the rod.
  • the worm gear, the rod and the control arm are disposed at the bottom center of the shelf.
  • a cooling device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP0438180 .
  • the transmission setups used for transmitting motion to the movement mechanisms disposed on both sides of the shelf occupy space inside the cooling device and create customer dissatisfaction in terms of both visual and hygienic aspects.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device comprising a shelf the height of which is easily adjustable.
  • the cooling device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is explicated in the attached claims.
  • the cooling device of the present invention comprises two holders mounted oppositely on the side walls of the body, supporting and carrying the shelf whereon foodstuffs are placed from the sides facing the side wall and at least one movement mechanism belonging to each holder, providing the upwards downwards movement of the holder connected thereto and having a motor that provides the required drive for its movement.
  • At least one of the shelves is supported to be movable upwards and downwards by means of two movement mechanisms mounted oppositely on the side walls of the body. Both of the movement mechanisms are connected to a motor each that provides the required drive for moving the shelf upwards and downwards. In other words, the upward and downward movement of the right and left sides of the shelf is realized with the drive provided by separate motors. Consequently, the need for disposing complex drive transmission setups between the two movement mechanisms is eliminated.
  • the movement mechanisms operate independently from each other but are controlled together electrically.
  • Switches are used for stopping the shelf at the last top and bottom points whereto it is intended to proceed.
  • the switches that the shelf contacts upon reaching the uppermost and lowermost positions causes the motor to stop by cutting off the electricity supplied to the motor that provides the drive for the respective movement mechanism.
  • the movement of the shelf beyond the desired uppermost and lowermost points is prevented.
  • both of the movement mechanisms are stopped by separate switches, the possibility of the shelf standing inclined due to probable synchronization problems between the motors is eliminated.
  • the movement mechanism comprises a transmission shaft the outer surface of which is in threaded form that is rotated by the motor.
  • a holder having a housing with grooved inner surface is mounted onto the transmission shaft. The holder is prevented from rotating around the transmission shaft and thus the holder is provided to move upwards or downwards when the transmission shaft rotates.
  • the shelf is placed on the holders positioned oppositely on both of the side walls and is supported by the holders.
  • the movement mechanism furthermore comprises a support means disposed between the body side wall and the holder.
  • a hole is arranged on the side of the holder facing the support means.
  • a preferably metal rod is placed into the hole and secured to the support means from both ends. By means of the rod, the holder is prevented from rotating around the transmission shaft.
  • the holder arm being the portion of the holder supporting the shelf, extends along the body side wall.
  • the shelf is carried safely by being supported along the width thereof.
  • an opening is provided on the holder, disposed between the housing and the holder arm, spaced apart from the transmission shaft, formed so as to partially surround the transmission shaft.
  • a lid is disposed inside the opening that prevents the transmission shaft from being seen from inside the cooling device by closing the front thereof.
  • the lid prevents both the components of the movement mechanism from getting dirty and also avoids the view of a complex movement mechanism inside the cooling device thereby enabling a plain appearance.
  • the lid does not move together with the transmission shaft.
  • the lid is configured with the size and dimension to also cover the motor.
  • the opening and hence the lid are convex so as to project to the straight line of the holder arm whereon the shelf is disposed.
  • the lid placed into the opening projects towards over the holder arm.
  • the shelf comprises a recess matching the portion of the lid projecting over the holder arm.
  • the movement mechanism and the motor are secured on a receptacle and can be mounted all together at once on the body side wall by means of the receptacle.
  • a socket is provided on the body side walls wherein the receptacle is placed.
  • the receptacle is preferably snap fittingly seated into the socket.
  • a skirt is provided all around on the sides of the receptacle that is seated on the body side wall when fitted into the socket.
